There are several charcters in Lawire Pardy's "Swing Dings" fonts, specifically "f" and "g" in SwingDings.ttf, which can be downloaded here: http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.html#Fonts

MIDIwise, use a pitch bend or put the notes on a hidden playback staff.

Thank you, Rick. This now gives me the opportunity to answer in another way:

Q. "How do you make a fall?"
A. "Same way you make a summer."

or...
Q. "How do you make a fall?"
A. "I always use the banana-peel method. For great falls, ask Humpty Dumpty."

and... but no, that's quite enough, methinks.
Rob.
